i think i may go see vanilla sky this afternoon. i have nothing else to do and tom cruise is just so dreamy.

i should have put up a link to justin a while ago. he said something about not starting until the new year, but he lied. justin is into metal, he was my neighbor freshman year, and he’s from wisconsin. justin kicks ass.

mjarc reminded me of something else i can remark on. i too do not say “bless you” when people sneeze, and when people around me sneeze, i am always left feeling that they’re thinking to themselves “what a jerk, he’s right there, he heard me sneeze and didn’t say anything”. something else i dislike though is people saying it to me when i sneeze, because the custom is then to say thank you, i think. but i don’t want to be blessed in the first place, and i would really prefer, if it were socially acceptable, to turn to the person and say, “you know, you really don’t have to do that, i don’t go for that kind of stuff”. i think i remember my junior high french teacher telling us that french people say something after you sneeze that means “make a wish”. i wish i rememberd what that was, because at least that superstitious custom, although equally pointless and weird, has a fun spin to it instead of an “i’m saving your soul” one. i don’t want my soul to be saved, personally. i’d like to continue thinking that i have nothing that needs saving, and that i don’t need someone threatening retribution after i die to be a good person in life. and if i don’t say god bless you when you sneeze, that i’m not trying to be a bastard.
